Faux Apple Pie

Faux Apple Pie recipe - there are no apples in this pie, but it tastes EXACTLY like an apple pie!! The secret is Crackers!! Who knew?!?!? Pie crust, crackers, lemon juice, sugar, cream of tartar, water and cinnamon. Top with crushed crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Everyone says this is the BEST apple pie they ever have eaten - no-one ever knows it is a cracker pie. Serve with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. Make it for the holidays!

Ingredients :
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup Crushed crackers
  • Filling
  • 1 Frozen pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 tbsp. Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 36 Crackers
  • 2 tsp. Cream of tartar
  • 1 cup White sugar
  • 2 cups Water
Directions :
  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, sugar, and cream of tartar; bring to boil.
  3. Drop-in whole crackers and boil for 5 minutes. Pour mixture into pie shell; sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon juice.
  4. Mix topping ingredients; sprinkle over pie filling.
  5. Bake 10 minutes at 400ºF, reduce to 350ºF and cover edges of pie crust with foil. Bake 18-20 more minutes, or until pie filling has set. It shouldn't jiggle a lot when moved. Cool before serving.
